For longer term monitoring, say monthly, you might want to install some additional software.

I use Cacti extensively both on my nodes, and at work, monitoring network and server health in a power station.

You’ll need to enable SNMP, so there may be some security considerations, but it’s a great way to monitor what your system is up to (and what it’s been up to!).
